Chapter 206: Tension Mounts

to hold on for so long by relying purely on his agility to avoid combat. If it were a direct confrontation, he probably wouldn't last even thirty breaths. And I'm not just some war puppet who relies o..."You, you bastard!!"

Dao Yu, the venerable one, let out a thunderous roar. Without any apparent movement from him, a golden sword light suddenly blazed into existence.

Like a golden bolt of lightning, it struck Su Xin directly in front.

The speed is incredibly fast.

"Hands on"

"Get hands-on right at the rally point"

Everyone around was shocked.

Boom!!

The blade slashed through the air, tearing the tavern apart with merciless fury. Many of the powerful individuals who had been drinking inside were caught in the crossfire.

This is still Dao Yu's attempt to control his power as much as possible. Otherwise, with his level of strength, any move he made would be far more impactful than this.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Remember the URL.

Su Xin, A Qi, and Blood Robe Marquis had all leaped into the air. After the imposing might of their blades dissipated, they returned to land.

"Dao Yu Venerable, what do you want to do" Blood Robe Marquis said with a hint of anger.

Su Xin coldly looked at Dao Yu, the Venerable, before him.

A-Qi, who stood beside him, turned her palm over, and a black short dagger appeared in her hand. She could already sense the killing intent of this Daoist Feather Sovereign towards Su Xin.

She wanted to make a move, but Su Xin stopped her.

Here it is!

The sound of heavy metal clashing and footsteps echoed continuously, and a large number of soldiers clad in blood-red armor appeared at the assembly point. In an instant, they surrounded Su Xin and the others, including Dao Yu Venerable, in the center.

These crimson-armored soldiers, each with a cold and ruthless expression, exude an aura of immense power. Even the weakest among them possesses the cultivation of a three-step peak warrior.

"It's the Cangyun Guard!"

"The Azure Cloud Guard has mobilized!"

At the assembly point, there was an outcry.

The Azure Cloud Guard is the strongest guard unit in the Azure Cloud Kingdom. It is said that even the most ordinary soldiers of the Azure Cloud Guard possess peak three-step cultivation, while those slightly stronger are four-step Venerables. Ordinary squad leaders are five-step Nirvana Venerables, and captains and commanders possess even greater strength.

As for the four strongest commanders, they are personally held by the Holy Monarch himself.

Only a hundred-man squad from the Azure Cloud Guard has arrived. The captain at their head, with a voice as cold as ice, said: “Several of you, if you have any grievances and wish to fight or engage in bloodshed, you can do so freely within the Azure Cloud Realm when it opens. If there are irreconcilable grudges that need resolving now, you can also go to the designated battle space prepared for you.”

"No one is allowed to fight within the gathering point!"

"The three of us were having a good time drinking here, when this Dao Yu Venerable suddenly attacked us," the Blood Robed Marquis said.

The centurion immediately looked at Dao Yu Venerable, and at the same time, a list of Venerables appeared in his hand.

"Ranking fourteenth on the Venerable List, Dao Yu, the Centurion of the Blood Fiend Gate, still had icy eyes. "Although the Blood Fiend Gate is one of the seventeen top forces in the Eastern Desolation, this is the Azure Cloud Nation. Anyone must abide by the rules of my Azure Cloud Nation."

"Dao Yu Venerable, this time I only give you a warning. If you dare to make a move again, I will immediately take action and kill you on the spot!"

Hearing this, Dao Yu Venerable's face turned a bit ugly, but he didn't dare to make another move.

He knew very well that this centurion was not trying to frighten him.

The Azure Cloud Guard, as the most elite guard unit of the Azure Cloud Nation, was specially dispatched to maintain order at the gathering point this time. Behind them stood the entire Azure Cloud Nation and its ruler. As long as he dared to continue defying the regulations of the Azure Cloud Nation, the Azure Cloud Guard would absolutely dare, and absolutely have the ability to kill him.

"Boy!"

Dao Yu Venerable stared intently at Su Xin, he could sense the blood-slaying mark on Su Xin's body.

This blood curse mark is extremely high level. Within the Blood Fiend Sect, only truly outstanding genius disciples, or those with special identities and noble lineage, could leave behind such a mark.

And the number of disciples in the Blood Fiend Sect was never particularly large. Over these years, some disciples died during their external training, but only two could leave behind such a level blood fiend mark.

Of the two, one had been killed by Blood Fiend Sect long ago.

Only the last one left, Blood Slaughter Gate never knew who killed him, but now they know.

Regardless of who you are or which faction or sect you belong to, whoever dares to kill my junior brother Qingyou, you will surely die without a doubt!

"Once I reach the Azure Cloud Realm, I will surely kill you!"

Dao Yu Zun's voice was cold.

I just watched Su Xin coldly.

"Humph!"

Dao Yu Venerable snorted coldly, then turned and left.

The surrounding Azure Cloud Guardians, as well as the powerful figures who had gathered, all dispersed.

Su Xin and his two companions moved to another tavern and sat down.

"Su Xin, what happened How did you get on the radar of that Dao Yu Venerable" Xue Yi Hou asked.

"I killed a disciple of the Blood Fiend Sect before, and he left me with the Blood Fiend Mark," Su Xin said.

That was still many years ago, before he had broken through to the Nirvana Realm. The first time he went to the Qingxuan battlefield, he killed a severely injured Fourth Step Venerable and was left behind by the other party.

He also knew this mark was a Blood Slaughter Mark, and he had once wanted to remove it. Unfortunately, even his senior brother Jiuyan couldn't remove it.

"Blood Talisman Mark" Blood Robe Marquis was startled.

"This blood curse mark is quite high-level. The person I killed was probably someone of some standing within the Blood Slaughter Gate," Su Xin laughed.

"No wonder this Dao Yu Venerable wanted to kill you as soon as he saw you, Blood Robe Hou nodded knowingly, then sighed: "This Cangyun Realm hasn't even opened yet, and it's already been targeted by this Dao Yu Venerable. Su Xin, you are really unlucky."

"It wasn't a big deal, but Su Xin didn't really care."

He truly doesn't care.

Dao Yu Zun, on the East Desolate Venerable List, is only ranked 14th. He's still quite a distance from the top ten. With such strength, even if he fought one-on-one, there was nothing to fear. Besides, A Qi was fighting alongside him.

If they were to truly meet in the Cangyun Realm, with just this Dao Feather Venerable alone, he and A Qi joined forces, they might even have a chance to kill him on the spot if they were lucky.

"With my and Aqi's strength, within the Azure Cloud Realm, we would hardly have anything to fear except those top three on the Venerable List," Su Xin thought secretly.

Dao Yu Venerable didn't care at all.

Even the top few after the top ten couldn't make him afraid.

Only the top three on the Venerable List, Axe Lord, Overlord of Blades, and Bloodheart King.

These three are extremely powerful. Even if he and Aqi joined forces, there's no absolute certainty they could stand against them.

Especially the Axe Lord ranked first on the Venerable List!

That was a huge freak, in this era, no one could dispute that he was the number one Nirvana realm expert in the Eastern Wasteland.

And he still claims to be the owner of a 'divine bloodline' once in a millennium, his cultivation has reached the ultimate state of Nirvana Realm for over a hundred years. His strength is simply not comparable to that of ordinary Venerables.

“The divine bloodline, although not as good as my supreme bloodline, is only one level lower. Those who possess such a bloodline also have their talents and comprehension greatly developed. He has cultivated and comprehended at the peak of the Nirvana realm for over a hundred years. How strong could his strength be” Su Xin marveled inwardly.

He doesn't know how strong that Axeman really is.

But he knew that with this Axe King's strength, if he came to the Azure Cloud Realm to compete for the White Heart Divine Fruit, it would be simply bullying.

Of course, if his cultivation reached the ultimate level of Nirvana Realm and practiced for another hundred years, he would probably be even more terrifying than this Axe Lord. But unfortunately, his cultivation time is simply too short. Right now, his cultivation has only reached the peak of the third step. It's still very far from the ultimate level of the Nirvana Realm.

……

As powerful venerables arrived at six assembly points, within a certain territory of the Azure Cloud Nation, shrouded by an array's coverage, a massive plaza hovered. On the plaza, numerous people had already gathered.

They are all powerful saints from various domains and factions in the Eastern Desolate Land.

Like the six great overlord forces and seventeen top-tier forces, besides some that haven't sent powerful individuals, most have Saint Kings or above personally coming, and even some sect forces, still 'Mountain Masters' 'Palace Masters' this level of strong individuals are present in person.

"Saint of the Azure Flame!"

"Welcome, Island Lord!"

"Gai San..."

These super beings also greeted each other, and when they met familiar faces, they would go up and chat for a few words.

Longshan

A bald old man with a faint purple secret inscription on his forehead, came before the Dragon Mountain Saint Jun, "Long time no see, how are you."

"The Purple-Veined Saint Jun Long Shan Saint Jun also smiled."

He has known this Purple-Veined Saint Lord for a long time. The two of them once ventured together in a secret realm, so their friendship is quite deep.

"Longshan, I hear that your Jiusheng Mountain has been causing quite a stir in the Qingxuan Domain recently. That day at the Divine Palace, you completely suppressed the Purple Patterned Saint Monarch,"

"No, I just put a temporary damper on their arrogance. As top-tier forces, unless there's a full-scale war, it's impossible to completely suppress each other. Longshan Saint Lord won't give up easily."

Don't try to fool me, I've heard about it. The Sixth Mountain Master of your Jiusheng Mountain is incredibly powerful. Not long ago, he single-handedly broke into the Heavenly God Palace and beat up three palace masters, forcing them to retreat and become scarred like purple patterns.

That's indeed the case. Longshan Shengjun smiled.

“And among those Nirvana Realm cultivators, your Jiusheng Mountain originally had two strong contenders from the Eastern Desolation Venerable List: Jiu Meng Daozun and San Fu Zun. But I heard that recently, your Jiusheng Mountain has gained two more figures on the Venerable List. Especially one girl named A Qi, who is said to possess the strength of a Purple Vein Saint Monarch in the top ten of the Venerable List,”

This Purple Veined Saint Lord also came from a top-tier force, and this force was located on the outskirts of the Qixuan Domain, sharing the same territory as the Blood Slaughter Sect.

As the top powerhouse among this faction's elite, one naturally pays close attention to happenings in surrounding territories. This Purple-Veined Saint Monarch is well aware of recent events within the Qingxuan Domain and knows that two powerhouses from the Venerable Ranking have appeared within the Jiusheng Mountain. However, they haven't shown up on the ranking list yet.

Rumored to be not that great, Longshan Shengjun humbly smiled.

After a casual chat for a while, Lord Longshan looked around and said, “Almost everyone has arrived. Not to mention the ordinary factions and sects, all six major hegemonic forces and seventeen top-tier forces have come, except for the Purple Moon Holy Land.”

"Purple Moon Sacred Ground" Ziwen Saint Lord scoffed, "Those from the Purple Moon Sacred Ground are arrogant. Besides, they guard a massive treasure themselves, so naturally, they don't care much for this Azure Cloud Realm."

Longshan Shengjun also secretly nodded.

In past Azure Cloud Realms, even the Purple Moon Holy Land never sent anyone. This time is no exception.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the top of the plaza.

As soon as people arrived, the square, which had been lively just moments before, fell silent.

……eland, but even within the Nirvana Realm, there are vast differences in strength," the Azure Patrol Envoy chuckled."Nirvana Realm has a total of five realms, also known as the Five Steps to Nirvana. E...
